I bought this product after some good reviews on here. I took it out this weekend and shot it as a walk on on my local field. It was dipping slighty down at medium ranges (might be due to fps), but this barrel is extremely consistant! I shot 2000 rounds of paint, everything from evil to scorch (darn good for the price) and did not have one break!! I highly recomend keeping your a-5 shooting no more than 270 fps when you have this barrel, and ensure that you have a good paint to barrel match. If your fps is too high, it will cause your ball to drop (comes in handy for those bunker campers!!). Overall this is a decent barrel that is worth the price and it will make your shots predictable. Make sure that you have the basics down (paint match and fps) and you will love it!

Conclusion:

This is a good barrel for the price. If you are looking for consistancy, but there are just as good if not better barrels out there for the same price.
